Maybe the big 5 could split apart and have these around the country but linked via TV Just a thought <BR/>I am a supporter of Natural and organic food. We started as organic matter in the dawn of time so why not continue that way. Why alter what has been given to us in a natural state <BR/>That’s my 2 cents Peace on the IncreaseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221729.post-54045251434600271532008-09-22T17:06:00.000-04:002008-09-22T17:06:00.000-04:00It's unfortunate that any member of this years Far...It's unfortunate that any member of this years Farm Aid audience could claim the entire experience was tainted by one artists comments/opinion on eating meat. If Farm Aid were to exclude artists who are passionate and vocal on issues that impact the world, our health and the environment - there would be no one left to play.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221729.post-91687098406657468202008-09-22T11:25:00.000-04:002008-09-22T11:25:00.000-04:00I agree with all of the above, what a great day bu...I agree with all of the above, what a great day but too bad the trash seemed to runneth over and the college crowd seemed to think drunker was better.

I also noticed the garbage in the parking lots and all over the ampitheater. There were plenty of areas with trash cans, recycle bins and even an area for compostable material! If we can't even keep a concert venue clean how can we have any hope for a clean planet? Good food comes from clean soil! Thanks to Willie, Neil, John and Dave for another great year! What you guys do to help out is amazing, and I wish more people would follow the example you set! You guys rock!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221729.post-24593345421344215822008-09-21T11:19:00.000-04:002008-09-21T11:19:00.000-04:00What a show.... Arlo Guthrie being the quitessient...What a show.... Arlo Guthrie being the quitessiential 60's advocate for people! Pay attention you 20 something's... a man who has a statement to make. Jerry Lee rocked the house, and Neil closing with a 'Day in the Life' ... who ever saw that coming? Not only did John manage to work through an electrically challenged guitar... but the cell phone bit added a refreshing take on his mid-America set.<BR/><BR/>Sure, the sound quality was a little short of professional and some of the acts were off quicker than a bad act at a traveling circus. I mean... how does moe. ever finish a set in 10 minutes? They usually are warming up for more that 30 minutes! But the day was great, sunshine, crisp air, Jerry Lee rocking like he was still 20, touring with Johhny, Ray and June! Jakob made you reminesce about Bob, and some heartfelt music from Kenny. <BR/><BR/>I am sure we will see several complaints here, but the biggest were the fans in the parking lot and at the concert that missed the point of Farm Aid... Leaving plastic, paper, styrafoam, and beer cans all over the parking lot, in front of recycle bins and garbage cans. <BR/><BR/>Thanks Willie, Neil, John and Dave... can't wait till next year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221729.post-63114521204327708392008-09-21T07:46:00.000-04:002008-09-21T07:46:00.000-04:00i agree with anonymous,was it unplugged?i agree with anonymous,was it unplugged?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221729.post-53028817854831562572008-09-21T01:15:00.000-04:002008-09-21T01:15:00.000-04:00last i heard farms had cows, goats,chickens and ot...last i heard farms had cows, goats,chickens and other animals and yes people eat them.And then here is chrissy and the pretenders and their peta views.
